“Denso’s revenue rose due to an increase in vehicle production, as well as sales expansion,” said Denso executive director, Yasushi Matsui.
“In addition, newly consolidated subsidiaries contributed to growth in revenue. Denso’s operating profit also saw an increase due to a rise in production volume and company cost reduction efforts.”
In Japan, a rise in vehicle production and newly consolidated subsidiaries resulted in an increase in revenue to US$19.7bn, a 12.6% growth from the previous year.
In North America, a sales expansion led to a rise in revenue to US$7.4bn, a 7.5% increase from the previous year.
